Just recently noticed that when I go from drive to reverse, there is a slight delay for the reverse to kick in... Anyone else out there notice this???

 

i got it. I put it in reverse and press the gas and no go until like a second or 2 and it jerks back.

 

Mine was like that new. It was low on trans fluid from the factory. Easy to check it.

 

Did adding fluid solve the problem??

 

Not quite the same problem, but mine won't shift out of park for a few seconds after starting cold. The button on the shifter won't fully depress. I first noticed it a week ago, but it's been consistent.

 

To make a long story short, my truck is in getting a new tranny on warranty right now. It was doing this exact thing, it would delay going into reverse, if you gave it any throttle at all during the delay it would shudder.
Before it finally totally crapped out, I tried shifting reverse to forward and back again a couple times so I could try to figure out what it was doing before I took it in to get looked at, on the fourth time, it would clunk into reverse and then the forward gears would slip badly. When I was going forward and back, it was very slowly with hardly any throttle, I was just timing the delay before reverse would engage. It got hauled in to the dealer.

 

I have this as well, I thought it was normal.

 

mine would delay at least 4-5 seconds before engaging, a delay is definitely not normal, I can't think of any of my past trucks with auto tranny's that had any delay at all.

 

It is normal.

 

My trans shift's as quick as you put in gear

 

So does mine. No delay

 

Mine delays for what seems like a long time but is probably between 1~2 seconds. I have had three different dealers check it (just to be sure ). All three said that it is normal and that everything checks out.

 

Mine also delays going into drive from reverse but not quite as long as just going into reverse. Trans fluid might be the culprit you say Myst, huh.

 

No delay here. 2004 w/ 25k miles.

 

Yes. It was delaying about 2 seconds, now it is immediate (or immediate enough to not notice.)
